It's time for me to tap out of this platform. Special thanks to #trinitwitter who made me giggle along the way. Stay safe peeps 🙏🏾
Impossible to quantify the sweat equity & heart space it takes to remain steadfast in your values. Not easy. So with unwavering pride I stand shoulder to shoulder with my former colleagues @RsaUnion. #workervoice.
📢 HUGE NEWS! 📢
Staff at the RSA have voted OVERWHELMINGLY for the first strike action in the organisation’s history.
With a 79% turnout and a 93% vote in favour, we'll be on strike on Tuesday 19th and Thursday 21st of September.
Support here: actionnetwork.org/fundraisin…
In solidarity with my former colleagues @theRSAorg as they continue their fight for fair wages and better working environment.
BREAKING:
RSA staff are balloting to strike!
After five meetings over our pay claim, which would cost less than 3% of the org’s £9m unrestricted reserves, management have refused to move from their initial offer.

Such a fan of these two storytellers. Very much in the lineage of griots before them. Massive fan of the @proximitymedia mission to demystify the craft. #storytelling #futures
Join #RyanCoogler & Ta-Nehisi Coates on the first of two special episodes about writing, directing, and @TheBlackPanther. Today, they delve into Ta-Nehisi’s early writing experiences and the influence of hip-hop on their work. Listen now: apple.co/inproximity
Amazing news!! Congrats to everyone who contributed to this milestone achievement. 🇹🇹
In the beginning was the word.
Congrats to all the writers of #SuccessionHBO on a spectacular series. Just in awe.
So energised after my 1st wk with @CapsCoalition team as their Events & Relationships Lead. After 7+yrs @theRSAorg working on #futures & #global I'm excited for this new chapter with @CapsCoalition, a global collaboration redefining value to transform decision making.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. #Grenfell #neverforget
‘It’s so obvious that you see storytelling as a political act…and you have the power to influence so many'
Thank you so much to @TbyMrry @BennySouto and Adanna Shallowe from @theRSAorg for bringing your inspiration and expertise to our Orwell Youth Fellows meeting this week!
Nervously excited to chat to the inspiring #OrwellYouthFellows about #futures & the power of storytelling along with my colleagues @TbyMrry and @BennySouto.

“Transition from what to what? Who makes the decision, how do we learn from history? [...] Communities should be involved not only in consultation but also in decision making and implementation”.
Check out our work on Just Transition and communities' role! @theRSAorg

Especially loved this part.
Recommended reading from @MazzucatoM? #Marx!
She says business profit needs to be reinvested back into the economy, which is being held back by rent-seeking 🤑
“Globally six trillion dollars have been used for stock buy backs in the last 10 years!”
Lucky enough to witness these two powerhouses - @MazzucatoM and Hon Prime Minister @miaamormottley - discuss state capacity, #fiscalspace, reform of the Bretton Woods Institutions & of course challenges facing #smallislandstates.
Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight, to welcome @MazzucatoM and the Hon @miaamormottley to @theRSAorg! #RSAleadership

When the British banned African drums
We turned to Tamboo Bamboo
When they banned that
We turned to iron

“The poorest fifth of the population are now much poorer [in the UK] than most of the poorest countries in central and eastern Europe,” says @MyStephanomics. “They would be better off in quite poor countries in the European Union.”
